Sunday's Insecurities and Dreamweaver Woes

August 10, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life, site | 2 Comments


I really try to be who I am and be proud of that and everything – not worry about what people think about me because they don’t matter. I try to be that way – always.

Sometimes it’s hard. Sometimes I feel like a little girl who’s so unsure of anything in this world and generally it’s due to dumb dumb things.

Like today, my husband went for a walk in the early afternoon. He went alone and didn’t ask me to come or didn’t take a dog with him. He said he was going to go walk around the park we used to live by a couple times and then come home. Doesn’t seem like a big deal, right?

Well my husband and I have been together for a LONG time and a lot has happened. There have been betrayals and lies told and all has been forgiven…but never forgotten. So when these oddities come up out of no where…like a walk out of the blue…I start to get all paranoid like he’s lying to me and doing something behind my back or he’s leaving to go talk to someone.

Do I really think these things are going on? Of course not. But I cannot keep these feelings from cropping up when incidents like this happen! I wish I could.

And yeah, I know that it’s odd behavior and I should trust my gut and all of that…but I also know that if something is going on, I WILL find out sooner or later. Plus, i’m the type of gal who has always said…”if you don’t want to be with me then there’s the door.” I’d rather be alone than with someone who doesn’t want to also be with me.

So, I asked what was up when he got home and he said nothing. I hope he’s telling the truth. I trust him about 99%…but there’s still the lies from years ago that linger in my head.

Ahh well, all will reveal itself if there is something going on. It always does!

On to Dreamweaver. I love computers and everything, but when it comes to html, unfortunately, I am a hack and don’t know enough html to not use a WYSIWYG website editor.

So I have used Microsoft Frontpage for years! Everything worked well with a few little snags here and there, but I’ve always been able to get around them.

For some reason Frontpage stopped working for the APSFA webmaster stuff that I do. I don’t understand why either. I think it may have something to do with my new firewall but even when I disabled it, FP still would not work.

So I’ve been trying other WYSIWYG programs. I tried an Adobe program called “Contribute” which worked for a couple pages, but I couldn’t get to the html to edit it. I didn’t really play with that program for too long to look for it either. I kind of knew once I used it a couple times that it wasn’t really what I was looking for.

Dreamweaver is closer to what I need. I got it to upload, but now I’m having a problem with one of my pages. I cannot see anything in the WYSIWYG part, but the html is all there. I need to figure out what is making me not see it. I’ve been playing with it for hours, with no avail.

That’s been my Sunday so far…oh that and the dishes. YUCK…I seriously hate doing dishes so they always wait until we have so many and they are SO nasty…it’s dumb, but I just hate doing them.

No layouts today unless I need a break from Dreamweaver – which I may later on…I’m stumped.

I don’t know if anyone out there is reading this or not. I’d like to think that someone is! I keep getting hits, but it’s mostly my pet entries…which is just fine.

With those entries, I’m trying to educate the masses on pet foods and help people make educated choices. The food recalls lately have been pretty scary. And yeah, I know that in the past dogs and cats were fed dog/cat chow for x amount of years and they lived a good happy life. I think times have changed and I really think that the ingredients going into the foods are different than they used to be. I could go on and on…so I’ll get down off the soapbox.

On a similar note though…and then I swear I’m done…I ran across this article when I was reading my blogs tonight: Pet Dogs Can ‘Catch’ Human Yawns

And a blurb:

Yawning is known to be contagious in humans but now scientists have shown that pet dogs can catch a yawn, too.

The copying activity suggests that canines are capable of empathising with people, say the researchers who recorded dogs’ behaviour in lab tests.

Until now, only humans and their close primate relatives were thought to find yawning contagious.

The team – from Birbeck College, University of London – reports its findings in Biology Letters.

Yawning, although sometimes a response to extreme stress, is more often a sign of tiredness; but the reason for why yawning is catching is not fully understood.

Isn’t that interesting??!

I still haven’t had time to get into making a scrappy page. Maybe tomorrow night. I came home from work tonight and the hubbs was sleeping on the couch. I didn’t want to wake him because he’s usually a donkey when I do that, so I just went to lay down with the dogs. I fell asleep and woke up at 7:00pm! Whoops! I quickly fed the animals and then started my online routine.

I had a nice little email saying I got 3.00 in my paypal account from a survey company I do surveys for…woo hoo!!! and so with that burning a hole in my account, I went scrappy kit shopping. I got these two from Digitreats.

I have been really into these kits. I love the bright colors in the JUMP kit, and the SKIP kit has nice soft girly colors. I got the ‘G’ kit because I love the frame and it has the Grandparents paper. And I got the felt kit because I like the idea of having a notebook. I can’t wait to use them, I just need to get some inspiration. I should browse the net and see other people’s layouts and see if it doesn’t spark some ideas.

I need to get going here for the night…gotta make something for lunch and give the puppa his pills. He’s gone 99 days seizure free!! I’ll have to make him a little graphic tomorrow!

Paranormal State

August 4, 2008 | By Heidi | Filed Under: life | Leave a Comment

For whatever reason these two episodes of Paranormal State are really creeping me out tonight. I’m usually ok…a little freaked, but I’m almost physically scared with these two…not sure why. The 2nd one just began too…got another 20 minutes to go on it yet!

It also may be because there’s some dam fly flying all around my head and you you my house is overrun by cats and they are always active this time of night!!

I just hope this creepy feeling goes away when I go to bed or I will not be able to sleep!

I haven’t had time to make any scrappy pages, but I’ve downloaded tons and tons of freebies lately!! Digiscrapping artists are awesome for offering so many freebies!
